It’s worth noting that Aaron is a father, so perhaps she sensed something there that set her at ease. But still, rather than thinking two guys a generation apart were just simply beards of a feather she seems to think anyone/everyone with a big beard is Billy Gibbons. Except for me. Though I’m not sure the neckbeard could qualify as “big.”

Mary, Don’t be a coward. We probably use the same shampoo so whatever you have hiding in the hair on your head might be hiding in my beard. If you’re really concerned about things hiding in your hair or your families hair you should shave your/their head like I do. Better yet, just bathe yourself in nair.

My late uncle Mike was tall– 6’6…and wore a beard like Gibbons & Hill of ZZ Top. He did a lot of work on all three ZZ Top members homes (he was an electrician) and he liked to joke that they copied his style

Anyway, he grew his beard when he got back from Nam, and Daddy with a beard was the only Daddy his daughter, my cousin Melissa, knew.

When she was three, he came home one day cleanshaven (he’d burnt half of his beard off by accident) and she ran screaming away from him. She wouldn’t go near him for almost TWO days, cuz she had NO idea who that STRANGE man was.
